Do your kids see their Dad?

Do your kids see their Dad? If so, how often?

Ds is 5 & dd is 6, their dad sees them 2-3 times a year

makeminearose-Im with you on this one.

Single dad, yes I know. Dsd mum is too busy to have contact this week even though she doesn't work and is looking after three other children.

We do all the facitating, driving, organising but she's too busy to see the daughter she is convinced must be mentally ill because she chose not to live with her.

not very often. he only comes about five times a year, if that. he blames me of course . He pays no maintenance and yet hates me, even though I let him see children whenever he comes. They don't miss him though. I wish they went to him one night a week though. Would love the break. it is NEVER going to happen though.

My dd (7) see's her dad whenever he rings and asks for her. That could be every weekend for a while or he can go months without. He doesn't want reg contact and doesn't give me reg money but it's not my place to stop it completely. Thats DDs place.

My ds (5) hasn't seen his dad since he was 4 months old. His df got deported back to Jamaica. He rings a couple of times a year, forgets his birthday and hasn't sent me money since his second birthday.

Hugs for you hope it gets easier for us all in time :-)

Thanks cute boots it does make my blood boil

Two under 5.5

Not at all this year, about twice last year. He lives 200 miles away.

I have given up exhausted trying to encourage him to visit more or even phone them (which he's never done) or send birthday or xmas cards (which he's also never done). He takes no interest in their education, welfare or development. There is zero contact with his children.

Now he's threatening to take me to court for full custody.

That makes sense

Ds has met his dad 4times (he is 7mo) its meant to be once a month for the day, but its already slipping to every 6ish weeks.

I desperatly want them to see each other more, but due to distance I can't see this happening sadly. I wish i could make it better, I feel like I'm letting ds down.
